Activating A Trial License - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Function Manual

Features
● The Trial License Mode can be used for maximum of 3 periods. Whereby the 1st period is
primarily regarded as the initial trial period within the scope of commissioning and
accompanying trials. The other two periods are intended for tests, presentations or
service.
● The Trial License Mode must be separately activated for each of the periods. Once
activated, a Trial Period can no longer be interrupted or canceled. The active trial period
also continues when you activate an additional option in Trial License Mode, deactivate
an activated option again, or enter a valid License Key.
● The Trial License Mode can be activated only as a block, i.e. for all options together. An
activation for individual options is not possible:
● You receive messages in plenty of time before a period has expired. You can then
activate the next free Trial License Period or you can replace the Trial License by a full
license.
The next time that the drive runs up, the Trial License Mode will be deactivated. If you
miss this point, then you can only continue to work with a full license or you must
deactivate the option subject to license or remove it from your configuration.
● Not all SINAMICS licenses can be used in Trial License Mode.
